Teffo said his team wanted a separate trial from that of Ntuli.
“We need judge Bert Bam and/or [the] appointment of the retired judge in this matter.”
Baloyi had no title to prosecute and a new prosecutor must be appointed, Teffo said. Teffo also wanted advocate Andrew Chauke, the director of public prosecutions in Johannesburg, to withdraw “fabricated charges” against him.
Teffo said he heard on the news the case had been postponed until next Tuesday for the four accused to obtain new legal representatives.
“I had made it clear before the court that I withdrew from the matter as the defence counsel and as such did not include the withdrawal of my attorney Anthony Thobane.
“It was therefore bizarre for yourself as the state prosecutor advocate Mshololo for accused 5 and the court to made conclusion that Mr Thobane should be excluded legally from representing accused 1 to 4 in this matter.” Teffo said.
The date of August 2 was made without consulting Thobane.
Teffo said if the four accused had been informed they needed to get new legal representatives, they could have informed the court there was no need for a postponement because they were still represented by Thobane, who had the right to appear in the high court.
Meyiwa, who was a goalkeeper for Bafana Bafana and Orlando Pirates, was shot dead in October 2014 while at musician Kelly Khumalo's mother's house. The two were in a relationship and had a child. Khumalo and other people who were in the house at the time claimed Meyiwa was killed in a robbery gone wrong at the house in Vosloorus in Ekurhuleni.
Teffo claimed Khumalo and the others who were in the house were involved in Meyiwa's killing and should be tried instead of his clients.
